Protocol to visualize glycan-mediated binding between virus and human blood mononuclear cells using thin-section transmission electron microscopy

Summary: Glycan-glycan interactions between viral particles and host cells may lengthen the dwell time of the virus on the cell surface to facilitate cellular receptor engagement. Here, we present a protocol for visualizing glycan-mediated binding between virus or virus-like-particles (VLPs) and hum...

description Summary: Glycan-glycan interactions between viral particles and host cells may lengthen the dwell time of the virus on the cell surface to facilitate cellular receptor engagement. Here, we present a protocol for visualizing glycan-mediated binding between virus or virus-like-particles (VLPs) and human peripheral blood mononuclear cells using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). We describe steps for virus and VLP production, isolation of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells, and sample preparation. We then detail procedures for thin-section TEM.For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Spillings et al.1 : Publisher’s note: Undertaking any experimental protocol requires adherence to local institutional guidelines for laboratory safety and ethics.
